It is sad that so many valuble lives have been lost not just in Mumbai but in Pakistan and all around the world in the name of terrorism . What I fail to understand is why India has to project such a dramatic picture out of human misery and loss . Its not logical and the puzzle does not fit in its place . The logistics defy the natural boundries and barriers . This is time to consolidate both the nations against inhuman acts of such elements of our society , not to ignite their emotions and exploit their grief and loss in the greater benifit of the entire region . Best Regards .
